SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 298,514, dated May 13, 1884:.

Application tiled October 27, 18%53. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

[Be it known that I, ANDREW J. Serena, of Portland, Multnomah county, Oregon, have invented a new and Improved Oiler, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to improve oilers, as hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming partrof this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is asectional elevation of part of the nozzle and nozzle-pipe. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the parts represented in Fig. 1. Fig.- 3 is asectional elevation of the entire can. Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of the upper part of the can and part of the nozzle-pipe, and Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the upper part of the can and part of the nozzle-pipe.

I make the pipe a separately from the can b, and lit it to slide freely in and out of a stuffing-box, 0, attached to the top of the can,with a follower, (Z, attached to the pipe inside of the can, to be pressed down on the oil as a means of forcing oil out of the nozzle 6, the follower being the full size of the interior cross-section of the can, and also being shaped in conformity with the conical form of the top of the can, by

preference, but not necessarily so. Under the dripcup f, at the top of the nozzle-pipea, I arrange a coiled spring, g, to raise the follower quickly after each depression for working the follower as often as and as rapidly as may be required. It will be seen that by pressing on the collar h of the nozzle with two fingers, while holding the can between said fingers and the thumb, the latter being placed under the bottom of the can and pressing down on the nozzle-pipe, the oil will be forced out of the nozzle, no matter how thick and sluggish it may be, while in all other oilers of this class the oil must be melted when very thick, and partioir larly in cold weather, before it can be ejected.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire .to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination, with an oil-can, b, of the internal prcsser 0r follower, cl, extending out toward the side of can and converging upwardly toward and made integral with the discharge-pipe a. as shown and described.

2. The combination, with the spring-supported follower-pipe a, of the nozzle 6, having the collar h, as and for the purpose specified.
